Mattel Minecraft Transforming Sword/Pickaxe Amazon Exclusive, Multicolor, FCW14, 887961460797

My 7 year old grandson had told me he wanted a transforming sword, so I automatically looked on Amazon, there it was! An Amazon exclusive and what an exclusive it is. It is a good sized sword, made of a durable plastic and quite a good looking sword/pickaxe. The way that it transforms is quite unique and very easy to operate. I had fun playing with it myself before I gave it to him. There were other features that I did not notice, but my grandson did and it was so cute to have him explain it to me. He showed me what it did to transform, then he pointed out something important for parents to know. The sword and pickaxe have protective foam on the impact areas, so when you hit something, the foam touches the surface and dulls the impact. This is a great feature, if the foam was not on impact areas, damage would most likely occur or injury. Because this sword is plastic and not all foam like the cheaper version that does not transform, I had a talk with my grandson about these two things; 1) We do NOT hit baby brother with it, no matter what he might be doing. 2) We do NOT hit furniture or walls. I told him he should not even be swinging it around inside, that is how accidents happen. His mother is notorious for taking his toys away for the least little infraction and he does not get all of them back. She goes through them and donates or sells on marketplace, so I told him if he wanted to keep his sword he needs to really pay attention to what he is doing with it. I told him the outdoors was where you could swing and do more fun things than inside. He is so thrilled with his sword that the 26.99 I paid for it was worth just the look on his face. Such joy and excitement. He took it in the living room to show his Dad, my son, and his Dad said, 'Whoa, that's a nice transforming sword, lil buddy. It looks just like the one on your Minecraft game'. It does. This sword is worth every penny of the 26.99. I would recommend without being asked. Once again, Amazon had exactly what I was looking for. They always have came through for me, and this time was no exception. As a last note, it was quite cold last night and dark. My grandson asked his mom if he could go outside so he could swing his sword around. He listened to me! Amazing for a 7 yr. old boy. Hopefully he will continue to remember the talk I had with him. If your child wants a transforming sword, this is the one to buy.

Este producto bine muy bien empacado muy bien diseñado y muy bonito y se los recomiendo para fanáticos de minecraft aunque es un poquito difícil de sacar de su empaque pero lo demás super bien

My son loves it.

神社にお参りに行くと必ず「マイクラの世界に入れますように」とお祈りしていた子どもの６歳の誕生日にプレゼント。気に入って戦いごっこにいそしんでます。結構しっかりした作りで、剣からツルハシに変える時少しコツがいるみたいですが一人で変えられます。

Got this for my son who's 6 and he plays with it a LOT. He loves it and it's definitely a good quality toy. It's got foam along the edges that are intended for making contact during play so it's not just hard plastic. In spite of all the play that it's seen, there's not any noticeable signs of wear or any sticking or binding when transforming it. Overall seems like a great gift idea.
